1.What drives such a young
mind like yours and how do
you over come challenges?
Do you remember that point in
the BFG by Roald Dahl, when the
giant explains how he
captures dreams and places them
in jars? Well that's me. Dreams,
day dreams, wondering,
pondering, these are the things
that churn within me. A thought
is a magnificent thing,
indestructible and intangible, yet
it has a history of being the
precursor to great things. But if it
simply remains a thought it
doesn't do much good, and I
guess this is where my folks come
in.
They were always the ones who
forced me to allow it to manifest.
as cliché as it may sound, the
unlimited horizons that I can
fearlessly dream about, tend to
be motivation for me to actually
pursue it. It's not always about
telling people what your dreams
and aspirations are, sometimes
it's about showing them.
To be bluntly honest, I'm a bit
broody/moody when challenges
hit home. But some air, some
sunshine, some good food, and
space to sort things out in my
head always seem to be my way
of dealing. Not saying it's the
most effective, but hey, within an
hour you might just get a word
out of me.
